The Playstation TV

[cmdrdredd]

I've seen games that sell for $25 going for $50 on PSN. Digital pricing needs to be adjusted.

 

[pathos]

Usually ~1-1.5GB, very few exceeds 2GB so the 8GB that comes with the PS TV bundle is plenty for starters, the 64GB one is outrageously expensive.

I normally do a mix of physical copies, and downloads. I have a 16 gig card, and it filled up in a hurry. It doesn't help that I have bought several psp games off the psn to play on the pstv. They aren't nearly as big as the vita games (usually in the 100's of megs, instead of 1 gig or higher), but, it tends to add up very quickly.

The next time I buy a game digitally off the psn, I'm going to need a new card to put it on.

If I had 1 complaint with the vita, and the pstv, it's the price of the memory cards. Outright criminal :\

With Sony's stupid online prices there is no point to buy digital. I got Conception 2 for $18, online they still want $30 for it.

The issue is if you're a PlayStation Plus member and have a ton of "free" games.

that's misleading as hell....

Looking at the list and sorting by PS TV compatibility it looks like at least 1/3rd to 1/2 of all vita games are compatible.

1/3 is a pretty small minority.

PlayStation TV got its price quietly slashed this week by major North American retailers. Now $80 ($20 off) for the core unit and $100 ($40 off) for the controller bundle. It's not listed as Amazon as being on sale, so looks like this is a permanent price drop.

I guess it's not selling very well.

Wonder if they fixed the lag even on Ethernet. I know I heard they got it with the second update the borked it with the next one.

Who knows. I wouldn't be shocked if it gets discontinued in the next few months. A sudden 20% price cut tells me that retailers are eager to dump their stock. Sony has made no official announcements AFAIK.

Given how poorly received and buggy the PSTV is, I'm surprised it sold as well in Japan as it did.

Graphically it looks like crap on a HDTV, and I'm talking about the interface. No Netflix support. Horrible lag when using remote play.

I wish I didn't spend the $100.

I am glad, after hearing these reports, that I didn't end up getting the GF one. She ended up saying she wanted a new monitor and a mechanical keyboard rather than this, but I was going to go with both. Glad I didn't.

I got one a while back, found out it lagged for remote play in my room, over Ethernet, and just returned it a week later. Ended up just moving the ps4 to my bedroom instead. I only wanted it for remote play anyway.
